What did Whatley do? He wrote his own.

Whatley’s recently released “Acting: Year One” is published by Waveland Press Inc.

“Mine is only 25 bucks,’’ Whatley said. Now, that’s the book he uses in the Acting I class. It is available through Amazon.

Not everything that Davis serves in his Texan B’s BBQ food truck is so simple and minimalistic. His pork has a more involved rub.
His barbecue sauce? It’s a scrumptious blueberry chipotle sauce that he developed while a Pensacola State College Culinary Arts Program student about three years ago.
